...more inspiration for October:





First, I'm squealing with admiration over the beautiful downloadable set of letters and numbers that I've used in the collage above, made by Jenny of Allsorts. I can't wait to make a banner like she did with them for Halloween. It's perfect!

1. This photo is from Wee Garden's miniature Gardening Blog. Her Lilliputian fairy garden photos are downright enchanting. I'm really in love with the idea of this tiny chandelier. I've got to make one.

2. Quite a brilliant slogan, for a t-shirt I'd say. From the Anzevino & Florence store.

3. Teesha Moore's blog is chock full of inspiration. I've been most familiar with her work through black and white zines. I love finally being able to see her work in full blown color. (link via Anahata's Inspiration Engine... another must see site filled with creative eyecandy!)

4. Another dose of color therapy from the Zara Home collection. I love going through their photos.



Lastly, here are a few quick shots I took of some of the colorful fabrics and patterns I've been playing with lately. My favorite part about the pillows pictured above with the oversized rick-rack trim are the buttons. They're actually tiny Alice and Wonderland collage pins from Tiffini of Tartx! And just for the sake of showing the world what I mean when I say my sewing machine is tiny, here it is!

Inspiration 14 ~ Whimsical Lovliness



October Inspiration abounds!

1. Design Sponge's guest blog archive of Affordable Art. This is a poster by one of my favorite designers: iso50. (Guest blogger Mav had featured there.) You should check out Scott Hanson's other site, Tycho Music too.

2. Martha, always lures me in most near the holidays. I love these lace punched pumpkins. I'm feeling ambitious this year and am going to try my hand at it. You've also got to check out Yvestown's pumpkins, they're magical!

3. I'm loving Moodswing studio's new pop culture trinkets. They feature quotes from some of my favorite 80's flicks. Every time she makes a new one, I just can't stop grinning!

4. I'm so envious over Pamela's recent visit to Wendy Addison's studio. The photos she took there are truly mezmerizing. This is such an inspiring post, don't miss it!

5. Alicia's most recent post is another creative treasure. I love how she pieced together all of those vintage bits of wallpaper on her closet door. It's so artistic!



I have such a love hate relationship with wallpaper though, as some of you might know! After spending a few weeks removing a ton of it in our new house, I actually sort of began to miss the different paper textures. I ended up ordering a few free hand-blocked samples of wallpaper from Farrow & Ball. There was something so beautiful in the simplicity of the designs, that I couldn't resist cutting them up to frame them. One day I might just wallpaper the inside of my studio closet in the damask pattern. You can order free samples of their paper too, here.
